The Cleveland Browns aced the 2026 NFL Draft. They had two first-round picks, as well as another in the top 40, in the 2026 NFL Draft. They picked up another first-round pick and rising star edge rusher Jared Verse in the Myles Garrett trade. So, yeah, the quarterback position is almost sure to be a mess, and the Browns aren't likely to be very good, but there remains plenty to be excited about in Cleveland this season. And if it all comes together, this could be one of the up-and-coming teams in the league as soon as 2027. Robert Mays, Derrik Klassen and Dave Helman preview the 2026 Browns on this episode of The Athletic Football Show.
